2704

Moscow Ballet brings the Gift of Christmas Tour to Oklahoma City with Great Russian Nutcracker performances bringing holiday magic to life and creating unforgettable memories for all ages. The company performs at Rose State College Hudiburg Chevrolet Center on Wed., Nov. 13, 7 p.m. only.

Moscow Ballet makes Christmas gift giving easy with the holiday performance that delights all ages…from the life-sized Kissy Doll to the fierce, red-eyed Rat King; and the Russian Troika Sleigh bringing Masha through the Snow Forest to the Land of Peace and Harmony which is populated with 10 foot tall dancing puppets, exotic flying birds and dancing couples from the world’s five great heritages.

Violinist Sylvan Zhang accompanied a prima ballerina in Saint-Saëns’ iconic “Dying Swan,” before a performance of the Great Russian Nutcracker on the 2018 Dove of Peace Tour at Oklahoma City’s Hudiburg Chevrolet Center. The performance was part of Moscow Ballet’s community engagement program “Musical Wunderkind.”

Sylvan Zhang is a 15-year-old violinist who has been perfecting the violin since age five. At just nine-years-old he had already played Carnegie Hall three times. Moscow Ballet “Musical Wunderkind,” who perform in many cities on the 2018 tour, are Concerto Competition winners and the next generation of professional musicians. Through this program they have the rare opportunity of accompanying a world-class Principal Ballerina live before their hometown audience.
